AN INTERESTING LECTURE.
The Rt. Rev. Leo Haid's Talk About the
Papacy and Leo XIII.

FdDaCY ana LEO ALL.
TIE lecture on 1.-THE Papacy and Leo
Kill" at the Theatre last evening by the
Rt. Rev. Leo Haid, o. S. B., Abbot of
Maryhelp and Vicar Apostolic OF North
Carolina, was greatly enjoyed by quite
large audience. The lecturer was introduced
by Rev. Father Cafferty, Vicar General. in
few brief, but very appropriate remarks
The Rt. Rev. Leo Haid is tall, spare
man, with long black beard, and in the
robes of his order presents very striking
appearance. He has a clear, penetrating
and rather pleasing voice, and his artlcula-
ton being distinct, every word of the lee
ture was heard in all parts of the house.
He stated what the foundation of the Pa
pacy was, and then rapidly sketched its his
tory. The greater part of the worlds prog
ress he believed to be due to the influence OF
the Papacy, and he gave his reasons for his
belief. He spoke eoquently of the part the
Popes have played in the worlds history,
and the wonderful work they nave done III
advancing civilization.
He gave some of the incidents in the life
of Plus TX, and drew a very graphic and
touching picture of his last hours. He
spoke of his greatness and goodness and
commented on the benefits which he con-
ferred upon humanity.
The lecturer devoted the greater part of
his time to Pope Leo XIII, whose jubilee
is now being celebrated. He gave very
interesting and full sketch OF the leading
events of Pope Leo's life, showing that even
in childhood he was a very earnest Chris
tian, and that earnest piety, sweetness OF
DISPOSITION and sincere devotion to the great
interests confided to his care have been lead
ing characteristics of his whole career. he
commented at length upon bis intellectual
greatness. his success in all kinds of good
works, and the prominent part he has taken
in the affairs of nations while guiding with
which be is the head.
The lecture was full of information, and
that it was interesting was shown by the
close attention that was given it from its
opening to its close.
The musicale given by local talent was
of an unusually high order, and showed a
good deal of work in its preparation The
chorus of thirty voices, with orchestra ac-
compartment, was under the direction Of
Maj. j. F. Brooks, who was very happy in
his efforts, and fully sustained his repu-
tation as a leader and musician.
After the Overture" by the orchestra,
the opening selection, Jubilee Hymn by
Weigand, was received with much enthusi-
assn and genuine applause. Mr.. +. Il. Re
barer, who was in excellent voice. sang solo
parts in very acceptable manner.
1.-The Golden Jubilee" called forth the best
efforts of the chorus and was well rendered
Misses NJ. and A. Nolan sang duet, STARS
of the Summer Night" in very acceptable
manner The Star Spaugled Banner"
sang as a solo and chorus, was reserved for
the last, and seldom has this popular
anthem been more effectively sung. Miss
Josie King, who has a powerful and sweet
voice, sustained the solo part admirably and
won generous applause.

1T BELONGS NORTH.
The Tallapoosa Land, Mining and Man
ufacturing Company.


ufacturing Company.
1t appears that the great Georgia specu-
lation the ''Tallapoosa Land, Mining and
Manufacturing Company" is not an At
lanta scheme after all, though probably
there are parties in that city who have a
working interest in it. Mr.. Gurdon Hull,
of Wallingford, Conn, and Mr.. Carleton,
a manufacturer of Jamaica ginger in Hart
ford, in the same State, are the projectors
and promoters 1t is stated that a good
deal of Connecticut money has been invested
as well as that of people living in other
States, in "Tallapoosan stock. The scheme
is advertised from New York. People who
have money to spare will probably find it
better to put in savings banks at home than
to invest in such land speculations.
The interest paid on home investments
may not be so large and attractive as those
promised by the flaming advertisements of
Northern developers of Southern resources,
but the principal will be safer. Prominent
men should be careful how they lend their
names to unknown enterprises. They may
not think their names of much practical
value to themselves, but their Endorsements
lead unsuspecting people to take them for
more then they are worth in business

MR.. PLATsHEKs STATEMENT.
Points in the Report of his Failure
Which He Says are Incorrect

winch he says are incorrect.
SAVANNAH, Ga, Dec. 2S.-Editor Horn
ing Net0s: In justice to myself please cor
rect the following errors appearing in your
issue of this date. Many others appear but
l desire you particularly to rectify the fol-
lowing: You state, 1T is known that Mr.
Platshek has paid no bills since October but
that he referred all his creditors to his at
torneys who told them to wait, that the
concern was trying to pay its debts, and if
it were given time it would probably do So
Mr.. Platshek was not pushed by any
of his creditors here or in the North
but he failed TO meet his obligations" etc
No one can read this statement without
coming to the conclusion that my creditors
INDUCED me upon the faith of promises
made by my attorneys, TO whom | referred
them, and who told them to wait, as | was
trying to pay my debts, and would do so if
given time, whereas nothing of the kind
happened. / know not where your reporter
got his information, but it is utterly and
entirely false, not only in intendnent, but
in every statement of fact Islander with
the worst possible intent Again, you state
that ''it is known that Mr.. Platshek has paid
no bills since October" This is also
untrue in every respect / have paid
every bill as it became due, for goods
bought North or elsewhere, since October
up to my failure. Dec. IL, 1887, regularly as
the bills became due, whether bought be-
fore or since October. | bought goods in
October on thirty and sixty days time,
which paid before my failure. Again,
you state: IAN effort was made yesterday
to get statement from Mr.. Platshek, but
he could not be seen" Whereas, | was yes
terday all day at my house, 162 State street,
and no one called to see me, and | refused
no one who came to see me- Respectfully,
K. PLATSHEK.
IAN the statements in the report were OBJ
tanned from people who, there was every
reason to believe, were well informed The
reporters OF the NEWS rang the bell at Mr.
Platshek's house at three different times. on
the day the failure was announced, without
obtaining response. Ed
